I know exactly what that space smells like. Not always bad. Someone cared about these things.
Very glad I found this channel.
When Shango066 passes away, there won't be anyone left who would know how to fix tube TVs. I'm exaggerating, of course... but not by much.
Let's hope that doesn't happen for a long, long while.
People used to keep the plastic on lamp shades to “preserve” them. Dust wouldn’t settle into the fabric.
I've seen that too. Baffling.
Yep, and plastic on the couch. Lol
I did that and it was a big mistake. Causes the heat to build up and the material to become brittle, especially when the fabric is backed by plastic. Those lamps were very stylish mid-60's. They may be making a comeback.
@@Joetechlincolns The couch plastic was so it would stay nice, in case the Pope decided to stop by for lunch some day
same for furniture plastic covers ,,, tickyta,ky
I am convinced Shango is the single last person in all of California to have a running driving Aerostar!
I've seen some around Seal Beach and Huntington Beach. Everything is running and driving forever in California if you want to keep the car and maintain it. There are people in Long Beach daily driving dented and beaten, but rust-free 1970s AMC Hornets and Dodge Scamps. Simple and cheap to maintain. They are on the same street as friends I visit there live on, and the cars are there year after year, just with a few more battle scars.
thank god shango speaks again 😁😁👍👍
I had a 1986 Aerostar. Was a Great dependable vehicle !!
Cash for Clunkers took a lot of good cars off the road
@@ZombiedustXXX Astros shared the same issues as a lot of GM trucks of the time, one of the most common being that of the torque converter mounts shearing. Ours at one time had intermittent issues with sensors, causing the vehicle to go into "limp home" mode a few times while my father drove it home from work. Other than that it never really gave us any trouble. We put 150k on it before we got rid of it.
shango happy enough to displace his cynicism for a brief moment, rare.
Cool stuff but a bit sad when you realize Dad collected this stuff for decades with big plans....sigh.
let's hope he enjoyed the collecting, and the dreaming. A lot of good plans ever come to be.
That was his treasure trove, just having stuff can be as equally satisfying as restoring things.
I still have so much stuff that dates back to when I was a kid, I could throw it out, but I look at it there are memories attached, so it always gets a pass.
It's also kind of cool building and repairing circuits now with components I know I collected up to 45 years ago.. to use one day...
GrandsonofKong. Yes sad but other people like dad will take care and restore them.
At least they were not just thrown away, that would have been a real shame.
Hey, they weren't thrown away.....
Thankfully, someone found it who will take good care of it. Most people would just trash it.
That's a gold mine of history.
America is an archaeological repository of extraordinary quality and depth. I enjoy this because I know how much Shango enjoys it, there's nothing like delving into wonderful time slips like this. Thank God someone who understands that stuff arrived on the scene
Gods tech trash museum needs?
@@lucasrem Yeah I suppose so. In a manner of speaking. I grew up in 60s and 70s New Zealand, in the era when psychedelic secret agents and old movie matinees beaming out of a glass bottle of plasma in a wooden box in the corner of your living room was standard procedure. That's when I formed my earliest impressions of this planet.. You may see old rubbish, but I see _treasure_ even in a lowly empty sparkplug box or cookie tin ful of bakelite tuning knobs. I surmise that if there is a God that fills the void with potentialities and awareness, in some way, we are the eyes and ears of it, so our creator oversees human culture through our senses. Nevertheless, I like to think of an archaeologist in the distant future (unless the world blows up... or simply explodes into nano tubes (RUclips?) or "neuro lace" as the transhuman "Singularity" inevitably backfires...), brushing the soil from an old cathode tube, and saying "They really knew how to make stuff in those days". I think it's good to keep the best quality from the past if possible, to appreciate the process of creativity and workmanship, effort and skill. Lot of punks want to burn it all down, cancel it, and smash it all up, they don't realize they're building their own tomb.. just so some army of drones or cyborgs can build it back "better"... and turn it into a golf course and ski resort for the tiny population of Earth. No wonder sometimes, we look back. (Just kidding) (really). (I'm just a hackable animal having fun). 😷💩.
I know this was posted 2 years back, but still.....I wanted to say "I concur." I'm going back through some of Shangho's archives. Imma trying 2 find my GE P-780. *ahaha*
I just get the impression that America is full of abandoned houses that contain stuff from the the last century. There's almost nothing like that left in the UK, the occasional house clearance brings up a few interesting finds. But the scale of what you seem to find blows my mind. Thanks again for a totally absorbing video.
We sell the contents of 15-20 homes a week , just in this area.
It is all about space, which many in Europe are lacking, and even in So Cal space is at a premium because real estate is SO expensive. Finds like this in more sparsely populated areas of the northern USA and Canada are even more likely. Case in point: a 1,000 SQ FT house in So Cal with a single car garage would likely be more than a million US $. Where I am in northeastern Canada, 300,000 US $ can get you a 2,500 SQ FT house with a four car garage on 0.5 to 1 acre. This is why people don't have the need to send old stuff to landfill. It goes in the basement, attic, or garage loft, when they pass and there is an estate sale, you get situations like in this video.
The real bummer is that there are way more than you actually see or here about but the children that inherit it just pay a trash service to clean out the property because they don't feel like messing with it and just want to sell the property as fast as they can
This is pretty rare now, these kinds of time capsules.
That used to be the case until "urban exploring" became mainstream thanks to the thousands of YT channels that attract scrap junkies and vandals. It's becoming exceedingly rare to find untouched abandoned homes still frozen in time.
If it were me, I'd get a big trailer and load it all up, tv's, radios, Sam's, popular mechanics, all of it. 😛😍
I would happily take the wife's anguish at all of that old crap coming home. There was so much stuff and a lot of it appears to be in pretty good shape considering.
Looks like he did... most of it.
What an awesome collection! And not just someone who hoarded anything he could, like you showed us a while ago with that house that they just demolished with everything in it, but someone who really cared about everything he had. Nicely organized, not just stacked up until it would almost fall over. Magazines bound together and neatly stacked... Wow!
8:50 Fisher 500C 1964 which is an FM only receiver and worth quite a bit of money to collectors. Recap kits available online with original can type electrolytics. Some of the best workmanship and soldering of point to point wiring from the factory that I have ever seen. May be worth more all together rather than parting it out. 30 watts per channel with 7591A push pull outputs. I am working on one now, it is on my bench.
Hearing the excitement in shango's voice was priceless. Like a kid on Christmas. I'll be looking forward to the coming videos
That Sylvania Scope!!!!!!!! When I was a kid, a distant relative of mine (rancher, but also retired physics teacher) rented a house to some friends of my family. The older boy and me (probably about 12) dug around in the junk pile in a detached garage that had been abandoned as storage and found like four of these, or maybe it was their Heathkit equivalent, I don't know. I was in love. Anyways, fast forward four or five years, and I'm working for the old man and ask him if they were still there and could I have one, and he said nah, they'd junked everything in that garage years ago. Shoulda spoke up when I was 12.
Reminiceing about cool stuff you saw when you were a kid and therefore lacked the money and were unlikely to be permitted to keep it even if you got it for free because its not *your* house.
I personally managed to buy my house despite being gen z and living in the bloody UK but i bet a ton of stuff is being junked because our housing market has been sold out and those who might want to try their hand at this are stuck with landlords, roommates and parents who were able to buy *THEIR* own house with 1/19th of the work it would take somebody starting out today.
and it doesn't help that every small house keeps getting bought at inflated prices to be knocked down to build a mansion
Imagine if boomers had the same type of housing market we have:
the bureaucrats from the soviet union would have been allowed to buy up most of their houses to rent at twice the price using *Western bloc government backed* mortgages not available to the general public while "conservatives" parroted “BUT THAT’S JUST THE FREE MARKET” while also giving their foreign landlords tax breaks and subsidies not given to locals
@@nullvoid564 I am honestly having a hard time understanding how you pivoted to real estate here, but it's probably because your experienced don't apply to this situation. First, this was almost 30 years ago, the old man was my relative, and asking is free... I just didn't ask. Stuff gets junked all the time because nobody wants it. He got them for free in the first place, because they were considered junk 20 years before that. If I wasn't permitted to keep it, it would have been because my mom wouldn't have wanted me hauling dirty old junk into the house.
Also, the housing market you're describing didn't/doesn't apply here then or now. This is in the literal middle of nowhere. There are thousands of acres of undeveloped grazing land that can be purchased from the county because they've been abandoned by people who don't want to pay the $hundreds in yearly taxes. You can buy land by the square mile if you want. My friends' family wanted to live in that area; they commuted 20 miles even though they could have rented, bought, or built closer to their jobs. So, if you can work VERY remotely, and want to get a work visa and sell your posh place in the UK, I'm pretty sure you can set up quite a spread out here - the land would be between 0.1% to 5% of the cost of your overall custom-build project, depending on how far away from humanity you want to live. I'm talking $thousands to low $10k's for a few acres, depending on how many miles you want to live away from your neighbors. And if you want the convenience of say, a gas station that isn't 30 miles away, there are THOUSANDS of small towns in rural America that you can choose from. They're dying because young people move out faster than they move in. Very low cost of living, because there aren't any jobs.
If anything, they'd love to have you as a foreign investor because there are no investors. Also, assuming you are at least a 2/10, your accent will slay country girls. Just be aware that these girls are about 90% Trump fans, so try not to talk about politics.
Love the smell of old electronics, especially when you open them up. Reminds me of my grandpa's basement shop, so great to see these things get saved and not just dumpstered, great history right there.
I'm envious of all those with space to hoard, er, collect all that stuff. I think it's neat, but I've got no place to put it.
I'ld say keep the UHF converter. Interesting piece that had it's place in TV history. Would be cool to see it working. Maybe use it as a testing device for older TVs?
I once had an old one - tube UHF converter that worked really good. The cabinet was smashed so I made a wood box.
Few finds like this still exist. I could see this house and contents being common in 1990, but 2021? Amazing find Shango.
Priceless. My heart skipped a few strokes when I saw those big console black and white's. Brings back a lot of memories.
Nice! Now You’ll Have TV Videos For A Year 😝 Love The Thumbnail with the Gas Mask you look like your cleaning out Hazardous waste Lol! Great Score Shango!
That hanging lamp in the corner was gorgeous. If I had a light like that in my apartment living room, I'd stick an LED bulb in it, and leave it turned on. My living room doesn't have any windows, so a big light like that in a corner of my living room would make the room bright and cheery day and night. That outlet with the 4 socket holes looked like the precursor to what we call power strips today. Back in those days power plugs only had two prongs.
I wish I had just a portion of your luck on finding these older sets. Over the past few years all I've managed to find is a single '69 RCA and some late models from the 80s+... If I ever manage to come across a find like that, I'd think I'd just rent a u-haul 😁
Incredible find and collection!
Ho boy. Memory lane there. You snagged some good sets if they don't require major parts. My parents married out of high school in 1950 and bought a very similar Motorola console TV. They called the wood "blond". I was born two years later. I remember being allowed to "stay up late" and watch the Three Stooges on it as well as one night, watching the Wizard of Oz on it while I was puking my guts out from the flu.
Memories. That old set was eventually replaced with a 19 inch Zenith table model in '68 that cost about $600, one like it that I kept running until about 2003 when the CRT eventually went soft. I did TV repair for a mom and pop TV/appliance store in Whittier when I was going to school in '70's. Many of the videos bring back a lot of weird memories. I can't tell you how many bad ground connections I fixed on RCA R-Y/B-Y filament circuits. Zeniths rule.
Being a cable tv tech in Carmel-by-the-sea during the 80s I saw a lot of homes like that. The chrome built-ins in the kitchens were the best thing to see.
What a haul. This is turning into my favorite RUclips channel. The commentaries are priceless as the repairs are made. I bust out laughing every single time. Just priceless.
OhOhOh, I love this. You need a warehouse. Nothing should go in the trash. One mans life, energy, enthusiasm, dreams. I hope you took it all. So exciting !
You are saving my marriage! When I was a kid, my best friend and I would make regular trips to our local dump to pull out old radios and TV's, and fix them up in his basement. Your videos remind me of those wonderful times! My wife would be very unhappy with me if I started cluttering up our house with this old stuff. Watching your videos is enough to bring back the old times without taking up every square inch of our house with antique electronics! Besides, as beautiful as some of these old TV's are, they just can't compare to my 75" HD set! Keep making these great videos!
My dad had a relative that made liquor cabinets out of those old TVs brought back a few memories for me , excellent score man!
What a 40th birthday present, Thank you for the timely upload man that's made my day. There's some history in that house, I hope someone who appreciates those old things can make use of them rather than going to the dump. And what a haul of TVs too, I bet the fella who collected those was a real character with some great stories to tell. Too bad I'm guessing it was the lady's parents and they'd EOL'd out of this mess.
Nifty......Although TV's are not my wheelhouse, I can appreciate the history of it all. Cool that it can live on.
" ....are not my wheelhouse".................. memorable and, at a later date, usable..............thanks from Vermont!
In about 1971 I went TV shopping with my Grandfather. At that time a few shops thar basically sold console TV and Stereos still existed. For around 400 dollars they had what must have been a forty inch black and white TV. The cabinet was the size of a short refrigerator. The cost of a 23 inch color TV was 500 dollars. My Grandfather was looking for a second portable to take camping. He bought a very small black and white all transistor for about 100 dollars. My Grandfather could not believe that someone would pay 400 dollars for a black and white set. The owner of the store said that a well to do local woman had ordered the giant B and W for old movies that were not colored anyway. My Grandfather was frugal with his monet and had gone 23 inch color in 1965 to water Gunsmoke in glorious color.
Man this was such a cool trip to the past, loved seeing all that stuff. Absolutely fascinating how far things have moved along.
like Old vintage Tv's history a time we will never see again
don't these old sets emit a lot of xrays
I wish TV these days were made like this, they are so beautiful! Back then every model of TV had its own personality now they are basically all the same :(
yeah, they used to call that "character".... as you say, now it's "function"..................... heaven help us....
But you wouldn't be able to afford it, nor would it be acknowledging the changes of taste, and architecture. You wouldn't see a 100" roundy-style LED TV now, would you?
@@williammorse8330 "function" ... hah.. Maybe for 2 years if you're lucky. TV's these days are disposable. CRT tv's lasted decades. Everything today breaks too damn easily. That...and stuff is ridiculously hard to repair. I used to fix CRT tv's. Linear style electronics were cake to work on. Now everything uses (tiny) ass electronic parts and digital components, half of which is near impossible to remove without toasting the PCB...or you have to replace the entire board.
Wow! Smithsonian quality TVs. I'm surprised they survived all the earthquakes since the time they were stored. That house looks like it's been in storage since 1960. The davenport is a mid 1960's Sears model. Cool find!
Holy crap, this haul is insane!!!
The TV gods were definitely smiling on you to get this sweet hookup!
My folks had an RCA radio phonograph like the one shown at 19:48 & at the beginning of the video sitting on top of the pile of TVs in storage. I think it was called a Victrola. They said they got it just after getting married in the early 1950s & kept it into the 1960s when it was replaced by a transistorized stereo. I remember it having a really rich sound. It was a real wood cabinet with a very nice finish.
I think I'm lucky to have grown up in an area that has maintained it's "period correct" look. Many of the houses I have visited, as well as my town still have that look to it from it's owners always living there. From the smells, decorations and furniture.
Now that is a find and a half! Beautiful sets. And nevermind finding the Sam's too. I NEVER come across those.
Those outlets were from the 50's and found in many a motel back then...
A way to provide 4 plugs without changing the box. NEC would have a field day nowadays.... The outlets we have are grounded and polorized.
Really looking forward to the videos on these sets, what a great find!
The house that's frozen in time. What a haul! That Zenith is a nice set, you got some nice TV's.
Have a great day shango. You are the best, So much cool stuff saved. I am 45 and I love this old stuff. Thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos.
WOW! What an incredible find. Can't wait for the coming videos!
COOL!!!! N-O-S-T-A-L-G-I-A ! Can't wait to see what you can do with these old jewels.
What a throwback to both my grandparents place in the early 70's and my uncle's place that had so many decades scattered throughout that you could see the time rolling by as you walked through. Thanks for sharing in your wonder at this place frozen in time.
Watching this is about as close to a time machine trip I will ever go on.
WOW @6:27 That was the very first Color TV I ever was able to watch for an Hour, it was a Sunday evening an I was at my first girlfriends house. I was quite young, I believe I was in the 5th Grade or so, must have been 63 or so. It came time for the Wonderful World of Color, and her Japanese Step-mom called us all into the living room, we were, of course shoeless as was her mom's custom, her dad who was a soldier, was overseas, I believe he was in Vietnam at the time. When those fireworks came on that TV Tube, I thought I had gone to heaven, the colors were so very bright, we lay on the floor and held hands as we watched that television. Good Times...
It's not in my nature to be jealous but I do sometimes dream of finding a house full of vintage valve tellys like you did. I always wake, disappointed it didn't happen.
Those Fisher tuners and amps went for big cash a while back on ebay even parts chassis They are more rare now
Re: the Korean Curtis Mathes, my folks had a 1980 color 27" CM that was actually a Panasonic. The color was excellent, with red reds not orange-ish like so many, and natural flesh tones without oversaturation. Never a repair, and eventually gave it away when they got a Sony. Thanks for another great video!
That place is a time capsule! 😍 I would love to step into a place like that. I'm definitely looking forward to the videos that you do with these items. 👍🏾😊
A years worth of content, no doubt! Nice score!
love seeing the old tv i had and fixing them and radios but i have been busy working our gold and silver mines in Montana in the summer till the snow drives us out then i live if florida in the winter till the snow leaves the mountains then we do it all over again in the winter time in florida i love watching your vids you are a smart man with electronics i am 60 years old so i started with tubes keep posting vids thanks
I'm always impressed when a treasure trove like this surfaces, how many more can be left out there ?
Those lamps at the end remind me of vintage liquor bottles full of a rich golden bourbon. Love them!
yes...... I'm enjoying one now......... cheers from Vermont !
Man, I love that Motorola. I love how absolutely massive it is, awesome find!!!
Truly a heaven, can't wait for the videos on them. Even if the CRTs are bad, it's fun watching the little testing-rejuvenating contraptions trying (and failing most of the time) to bring them back
Marvellous collection video, looking forward to seeing the sets in future resurrection videos. The house speaks of a time when people worked hard and saved to buy nice things which were designed to last, so they cherished and kept them, like those lights and furniture. Not like today when selling you new furniture every year is the norm. Lovely to see those TVs rescued, sad that it's a record of a life lived
What an Aladins cave. I'm so glad you got the scope. Lots of good video's to come. YAY.
I also like the calendar at the begining, very novel.
Great stuff & find... Can't wait to see next videos of those...!!
Wow. Quite the collection. Some years from now my kids will be doing a nueralink video of my junk collection. Thanks for sharing.
please dont throw away that uhf converter
so that converter back in the day was the equivalent of when we all had to buy a digital set top box, known as a Freeview in the UK. very interesting stuff. i love working on old TV's and radios.
Holy crap, monumentally epic haul! Super exciting.
At around 14 I devoured the Allied, Knight Kit catalogs. Started working on televisions and radios when I was 15 years old in 1961. Grandfather helped me buy basic test equipment. We then bought traded in televisions, cabinet and table models and so called portables/were heavy, from Prices Furniture and Appliance, Norfolk, Virginia. RCA's, Zenith's and Motorola's were my favoite to work on. We would sell the repaired ones to small motels along highways 11 and 460 about the time the interstate freeways were being constructed in Virginia and Tennessee.
Very excited to see what's coming up.
My great aunt never took the plastic off her lamp shade. Also she had those plastic carpet runners everywhere.
Fantastico! Looking forward to seeing each one of those gems restored !
Incredible pick up looking forward to these videos most definitely the house reminds me of my father's parents house in the 70s when I was a kid
Reminds me of the stuff that my parents had one their place. Once gone you can't get it back, packed with memories.
Wow. Love the smaller “whatever that is” set in the center back when you had them lined up in the driveway. Friend thinks it looks like an Emerson? Just something about it is quite charming to me! Recently got an RCA KCS47 chassis with the metal cone picture tube which appears to have avoided going gassy!! Can’t wait to get that running. If that TV ever ends up looking for a home I might have to figure something out even though I’m on the wrong coast… I need to plan a trip out that way someday anyway. Cheers and best of luck with them all!
-Connor K
One word: Jackpot!
you are reliving the golden years, this is exciting, how lucky man
I had that exact Sony, Shango, shame I didn't have anyone like you locally to help diagnose it sooner. Can't wait to see what happens with the rest. That Philco was super cute as well.
I've always wanted a 27" B & W set. The house being cleared out across the street from me after the old man died about 15 years ago had a 27" set sitting curbside, and I believe it was a Magnavox, but unfortunately the CRT neck was broken, and the back was missing, so I had to pass on it. The consolation prize was a 23" Dumont Emerson B & W tv, which I still have working fine.
i love finding places like this, and at the same time, i hate it. because i'd want to buy most of it. then figure out where to put it all. But its fun just to look through it all and see what rarities might be hidden. Thanks for sharing man!
Oh man I can’t wait to see all the videos of these sets
Looking forward to the videos. Great find. Thanks.
I'm excited .. all of these will make great videos. I'm looking forward to the philco just because I have 1 and I'm sure it's a total pita to work on
That is a very strange outlet indeed
So you can plug 4 rather than 2
I have all the repair manuals for those tv sets Ryder series…Also came across a 1954 RCA Color tv. And it worked perfectly
Cool finds that’s some beautiful sets looking forward to the roundie. Zenith vids
I had that very Zenith roundie many years ago. The cabinet was in rougher shape, but worked very well. I am anxious to watch the restore video.
I have one of the books you zipped by "101 ways to use your oscilloscope"
That is incredibly awesome!!! All of those vintage tvs!
Those old lamps would probably be really cool with some colored philips hue bulbs in them.
It’s awesome when you come across a seller that will take the time to share the history and tell stories.
Love that band of sealant around the perimeter of the CRT. I worked at Zenith 30+ years ago and am very fond of the sixties vintage tube color sets.
Wow! Looking forward to the next two years of content!!
Wow I love those tvs! Good find!
That red radio at 1:00 looks like something worth restoring. I wonder why you didn't take it with you? Anybody recognize the make and model of that radio?
Hopefully Shango also got that "suitcase" radio/record player on the bottom at 1:48... the dial scale by the handle is pretty cool.
She needs to keep that house in current decore and rent it to people who like that style. I'd love to live there!!!
Thanks for the surprise mid week vid sir💗💗👍👍👍👍👍
The dirt is worth a few mil, it will probably be redeveloped
@@shango066 yes probably so.
@William Mulvaney I think that house has moved to the arts and heritage center - it sure is interesting s 50's history.
@William Mulvaney Good reason to drive through Kansas on my next CC trip.
Omg, I have that same lamp next to that small couch!! Got it at a thrift mart exactly 20 years ago..
a veritable cornucopia of treasures! So glad you grabbed these before they were binned
That is the mother load of vintage electronics . Shango will have some massively interesting resurrection videos for a long time to come! Grab those SAMS!
I wonder what was in those metal filing cabinets?
Man. The opportunities you come across. Awesome. I just wish I could find someone to say "oh, that stack of Sams Photofacts? Take 'em"...If I outlive Dan, there will be at least one more guy fixing tube TV's....
its always looking cool going through old vintage and smelling old vintage stuff
Fly south 4 hours across the caribbean and you'll find a country still broadcasting NTSC nationwide, both VHF and UHF...
Great find. And thankyou for saving those.
